Hablo espanol

Today I got a chance to use my Spanish at the WalMart pharmacy. A man handed a med bottle to the cashier and she thought he was there to pick up a prescription but there wasn't one. She asked him if he was picking it up or leaving it to be filled. He couldn't understand her so she went to the pharmacist who came and asked him the same thing. He was blank so I just stepped in and asked him and got the time he wanted it and relayed it to the pharmacist. They appreciated my help.

I suggested that they have common phrases written down and translated so they could point to what they wanted to say. I doubt it will happen.

I didn't know you spoke Spanish! When did this happen?

Hope your trips is going well or has gone well. Can't remember when you said you would be back.
